I’M BACK!
I got back from my Poland trip on Tuesday but I wanted to take 2 more days off instead of immediately diving back into blogging and stressing myself out again.
In the last couple of days/weeks, I’ve been feeling very drained and I was stressed out to the MAX because I felt so pressured to write posts, comment on everyone’s posts, do some blog-hopping, write some more posts and so on and I almost considered taking a break!
But then my Poland trip came along and I pre-wrote a few posts that would go up while I was away. I visited my family for a few days and it was a lot of fun and a great time to relax and not worry about any obligations (including blogging)!
It was really good for me and I had time to reflect and think about some changes I wanted to make to my blog (especially schedule- and content-wise) and I am back to being motivated and HAVING FUN again. Blogging shouldn’t feel like an obligation and I’m glad that I was able to get rid of the pressure that I’ve been putting on myself!
Soooo, let’s hope that I’ve learned my lesson!
But enough about me and my #stressedout self.
As you can tell by the title, this will be a humongous book haul! I’ve accumulated all of these books in April and May even though I’ve technically been on a book buying ban but that obiviously didn’t work out LOL.
I am officially declaring a book buying ban for June though because my poor bank account needs a break! Let’s hope that I will pull through and it will go better than the last months XD
By the way, this is basically my Fierce Fangirl Friday post for tomorrow! I know it’s only Thursday but I have a blog tour post scheduled tomorrow so I am doing the post today!
Without further ado, let’s check out which books I’ve bought in the last few months!
*all pictures are my own and I KINDLY ask you to credit me if you decide to use them!*
USED BOOKS
Ever since I discovered Medimops, which is a German website for used books, I’ve been buying sooooo many of my books from there! Sometimes you get the books for half the price or even less and all of my books have been in perfect condition so far! I check the site at least once a week to see if any new books that are on my TBR have been added!
Since I can’t order from BookOutlet because the international shipping costs are outrageous (they literally want me to pay 50$ shipping for one book????? *CRIES*), Medimops has been a great alternative! That site is for people from Germany and Austria only though!
LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIES THEY’RE ALL USED BUT LITERALLY PERFECT. AND I GOT THE LEGEND GRAPHIC NOVEL AHHHHHHHHHH I’M CRYING BECAUSE IT’S SO PRETTY AND THE TRILOGY IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES AND THE GRAPHIC NOVEL LOOKS SO GOOD even though I imagined Day to look a little different but #whocares IT’S GORGEOUS *insert a million heart eyes here* ❤
I got these two books from Amazon Warehouse Deals for almost half the price which is SO COOL. I love Lily Collins so I had to get her book! I’ve already started reading it and it’s so inspiring! And because I’m #dumb and I like to make my bank account suffer, I had to buy the second book in the Raven Cycle series even though I haven’t read the first one and I don’t even know if I’ll like it! But as I said, I’m #dumb and #obsessed with buying books!
These three books have been on my TBR for so long and they’re not really used but I got them from the Amazon third-party seller thingy??? If you know what I mean??? I’m so excited to read ALL OF THEM!
NON-USED BOOKS
YES, I HAVE BOTH BOUGHT AND READ THE ACOTAR SERIES IN APRIL AND MAY AND I’M SO HAPPY THAT I DID BECAUSE THEY’RE MY NEW OBSESSION AND I’M IN LOVE AND I COULD SCREAM ABOUT THEM ALL DAY. But I won’t. Just know that I could 😛
(BORING) UNI BUYS
I have to read these 4 books for uni and that’s all I’ll really say about them because #boring. LET’S MOVE ON!
GIVEAWAYS
I have won a Goodreads Giveaway for a German thriller and even though I don’t really read books written in German, this one sounds good! And it’s signed which is nice!
I also won a giveaway and received a Kindle copy of Seeking Mansfield! I honestly don’t remember entering the Giveaway but I’m not complaining! The books sounds lovely!
NEW RELEASES
LOOK AT HOW PRETTY STRANGE THE DREAMER IS I AM HONESTLY OBSESSED WITH THE COVER AND I STARE AT IT EVERY SINGLE DAY WOWWWWW I’M IN LOVE
Carry On has been published for a while now BUT THEY RECENTLY CAME OUT WITH THIS NEW BOOK COVER AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT THE MOMENT I SAW IT AND WHEN I RECEIVED IT IN THE MAIL I LITERALLY TOOK 30 PICTURES WITH IT BECAUSE #pretty #gorgeous #beautiful #incredible #WOWZA ❤ and it has a map on the inside which is SO DOPE! I CAN’T WAIT TO MEET SIMON AND BAZ!
LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST… Look what was waiting for me when I got back from Poland!!!!!!! I legit squealed! I’ve been anticipating When Dimple Met Rishi since last year and I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S FINALLY HERE AND I GET TO HOLD IT IN MY HANDS!!!!!!! *heart eyes*
That’s it for my super huge and super long book haul!
I decided not to add my Kindle and Netgalley buys/accumulations because this post is long enough but I might make a seperate about those! Let me know if you’re interested!
Thanks for reading!
Have you read any of the books that I’ve mentioned in this book haul? Which book should I read first? Have you accumulated any new books lately? Do you buy used books? Let’s chat in the comments!
I CAN SEE THAT LITTLE RED NAIL OF YOURS IN THAT LAST PIC, JACKIE. XD Anyways, I’m so glad you’re back from Poland, but I’m also glad you realized some things about blogging! Blogging is DEFINITELY not meant to be something stressful, so if you need to post less or unfollow some blogs, it’s completely okay. ❤ And WOWOWOW I'm jealous!!! But YAS I'm soooo happy you got Ari and Dante — one of my favorite contemporaries ever! (Have you read Simon Vs yet??? WAIT. DID YOU READ SIX OF CROWS LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD???)
And AGH I'm soooo excited to read Strange the Dreamer! I have it checked out from the library haha, but I'm buddy reading it with someone so that should be fun! WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI. I NEED. *cries* Yay for the giveaways and also yay for the Legend graphic novels! I read part of it (actually, I read the last part of Champion because I wanted to see how they would do it XD), and it was okaaaaaaay, I guess. Hope you enjoy all your new books! ❤

Oh my, so many books!
I liked the paperback cover for Carry On a lot better than the hardback cover the publisher originally chose, though I do have both on my shelf now. I preordered it and got it signed, so that’s a special little thing. 🙂
I wouldn’t say your Uni haul is boring, really. You’ve got Sherlock on there and the Dorian Grey book is interesting. There are a lot of adaptations where he gets portrayed differently and I’d like to read the original story to see what the “truth” is.
I’ve got a lot of the same books on my TBR but I don’t think I’ve read many of these yet. I want to get more into When Dimple Met Rishi because it starts off so well. My TBR is high and threatening, though, so I have quite a few obligation reads to get to first. *lol*

It’s okay, I never succeeded in a book buying ban either. Whenever my eyes land on a “Book Fair” advertisement online, my eyes will always sparkle and any previous thoughts on being on a book buying ban is thrown out of the window. *Pats* I shall give you an advice that I hope will work. That is to not visit any websites that sells books or any bookstores. I managed to stop buying books for 1 month just by doing that. But afterwards when I found out that I missed out on a Mega book sale which have books discounted up to 90%, boy, I was pissed. T^T

That UK cover of “Strange the Dreamer” should be the main cover lol. I started listening to it and the world building is top notch. I’m also excited for “When Dimple Met Rishi.” Nice book haul! Never feel guilty when you treat yourself lol
